A member of Rambus' general counsel, John Danforth, has claimed that:

“[Monday's] order builds upon and adds to a series of reversible errors previously made by the same court. These include clear errors of law and fact that are the subject of a pending Rambus appeal for which Rambus has already filed its opening brief.

“The breadth of [Monday's] order amplifies these earlier mistakes and adds further reversible errors that Rambus will separately contest.”

On Monday, Judge Robert Payne announced that Rambus may not seek legal action against Infineon for SDR or DDR patent infringement claims. Judge Payne's inclusion of DDR is what's causing the brouhaha. A Virginia District Court (VDC) had already ruled that Rambus purposely withheld crucial patent information relating to SDR, and as a remedy was banned from seeking legal action. Judge Payne's decision was to include DDR in the definition of the ruling. The Rambus appeal is expected 2H'02 or 1H'03.Rob's Note: By that time, maybe we'll be using a new kind of memory …
